I've done a little bit of digging And a white lower front arm is part number 8419.
I've found what appears to be an original black lower front arm with the same part number 8419 in a packet so suggesting black would of been available??
Is there a definite way to tell if this car I'm interested in is real black plastic or white died black? I've explained the issue to to seller who hasn't had it from new and wasn't aware of this scenario.. His reply was
"Hi Jon, is there a way to check? It came in the box, already built. Can do close ups if you like / there are any clues?"
One thing I noticed in the pics of the box, manual & bits & bobs is that there are a couple plastic sprue / trees with some additional / optional parts on which are black... But I guess they all could of been died?
Was there any other physical differences with the black kits as a tell tail?
Even if the trees were dyed in their entirety ( which I highly doubt ) when the parts were cut off they would be white in the centers. More than likely it’s black parts.
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

That's my old car. The sealed kit I built in my thread. I sold it to romulus22 on here a long time ago, and he recently sold it on ebay.

I have a decent pile of well used vehicles that I mostly pick up to use as part donors. Sometimes in these lots I find one that isn't all that bad, but will never be shelf quality, at least not without replacing a lot of the parts. So I strip them...

I don't know any specifics on the tires. As much of my gear, they came to me in a large lot of items. New, but not in a package of any kind to help id them.
Gotcha, I was just curious as I loved the TRC capped tires back in the day. Quick Google...

The rear pod bearings are 1/4 x 3/8 flanged. There are 4 total, two in the diff and two on the axle. The bearing number is FR168. This should make it easier to locate in your country. The front wheel bearings are 1/8 x 5/16 flanged and are a FR2-5...

Judging by your pictures of your DS, would you say the stock bumper is about 1/4 thick? If so, I will need to source some 1/4 stock as the sheet I currently have is only 1/8 . You could use them as runners and keep your stock one for shelf duty. Let...
